My Copyright Guidelines & Resources

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, I am just sharing the principles and resources that I use.

My 3 Simple Guidelines:

1. Why not make it from Scratch?  

(Transform your classrooms into a studio and change your students from consumers to prosumers)

2. Play it safe and just use CC

(Use Creative Commons so you can legally remix and build on the past)

3. Ask for Permission, Fair use, and Link 

(Give credit, hyperlink, and use for educational purpose usually no problem)
